For the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the larger homeland security enterprise, the coming years hold the potential for significant change. While broad shifts in the structure or mission of the homeland security enterprise are unlikely, there are a number of specific areas in which tangible advances can be made. These include cyber threat information sharing, enterprise screening and credentialing, border security intelligence and information sharing, and investment planning and execution. Yet in order for needed progress to occur on these issues, policymakers and planners must have a clear vision for the future and an understanding of desired strategic outcomes. To offer perspectives on the complex systems dynamics of the homeland security enterprise, CSIS is collaborating with MITRE, operator of the DHS’s Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute (HS SEDI) FFRDC, to characterize key crosscutting homeland security enterprise missions and frame transformational outcomes for the Department. You are invited to an on-the-record conference on October 30, 2012 in order to foster a dialogue regarding strategic visions for the homeland security enterprise in these areas and explore how these visions might be implemented.

ATTORNEY CERTIFICATION SITE

Since 1991 PACE has been recognized as a national mental health professional organization. PACE certifies qualified mental health professionals to practice the specialties of Custody Evaluator and/or Parenting Coordinator. These individuals hold the following credentials:

Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator™ (NCPC)

PACE, as a recognized professional organization, certifies qualified mental health professionals to practice the mental health specialty of Parenting Coordinator. They will hold the credential of Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator™(NCPC)

What is a Parenting Coordinator?

The use of Parenting Coordinators is a relatively new intervention to manage high-conflict custody cases. Parents retain and compensate a clinician to arbitrate ongoing child-related disputes either by private agreement or by Court Order. That clinician then becomes the Parenting Coordinator.

What does the Parenting Coordinator do?

The Parenting Coordinator works directly with the parents to help them communicate more effectively and avoid conflicts about child-related issues. Parents who are constantly in court about child-related issues (such as a holiday visitation schedule or the sharing of information about a child’s academic or medical developments) might benefit from opinions and guidance to help make communication more effective. In addition, the parenting coordinator mediates issues, and when the parents are unable to agree, the parenting coordinator is often given the power to arbitrate what the result should be.

Ultimately, the court has the final say over child custody and visitation issues, but a Parenting Coordinator can drastically reduce the need to go to court and therefore reduce conflict for the children in families involved in such disputes.

Members will have two documents to verify their certification. One is a license-sized certificate (8” X 5”) with special built-in security characteristics and the other is a full-sized certificate for your office. They both contain all of the relevant information and attest to the fact that the named recipient "has satisfied the requirements for education, training, and experience, contained in PACE’S Criteria and is therefore recognized as a Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator."

Additionally, court personnel and prospective clients will be invited to visit a new website, being developed as both a registry and also to enhance the credibility and stature of the Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator™(NCPC).

As of today Thursday, November 10, 2011 ,

we are operating on a

TEN DAY TURN-AROUND SCHEDULE*

Your Certificates should be in the mail to

you within ten days after the receipt of

your application.

*This is based on our ACTUAL turn-around

time for the last 30 days.

The Final Word…

I talk to mental health professionals every day---social workers, counselors, psychologists, etc. Here are some of their questions---and my answers.

What does it cost?

$298 covers EVERYTHING for the first year. That’s made up of $169 application processing fee and $129 for the first full year certification dues. Then it will cost $129 per year. The annual fee of $129 will never change for you as long as you stay certified. (Yes, it may go up for new applicants, but NEVER for you!) We think that it’s only fair that the early applicants should reap some special benefits for their early loyalty. Also, if your application is not approved you get the $298 promptly refunded.

What do I get?

You get two certificates---one licensed-sized and one full size for your office. You will be added to a directory where court personnel and the public will go to find out about NCCE’s and NCPC’s. You’ll get discounts on seminars, publications, and testing instruments. Most important, you’ll have the ability to add an income producing certification to your practice, (I won’t even discuss the positive implications of adding a national title to your name.)

How long does it take?

It takes less than 45 minutes to fill out the application. (You push the SEND button and we have it five seconds later.) Ten days from then you’ll have your certificates and welcoming materials.

About six months ago, one of our new “approvals” asked us to send a letter to three family court judges telling them about her new credentials.

We did and…WOW, she actually got business from all three. We’ve done this a number of times since then and the results have always made us smile… so we’ve decided to make this a standing offer for every applicant.

Send us a list of judges, attorneys, etc. (up to a dozen) and we’ll send them a personal letter telling them about your new credentialing. It’s easy…it works…and the price is right---FREE!

Polo Match- Barn Workshop- Military Veteran Fundraiser

Aug 12-13th Bettendorf IA, Quad Cities Area

This workshop is a fund raiser for Operation Horses and Heroes, a 501(c)(3) and will take place at the Quad Cities Polo Club and surrounding area on August 12 and 13th, The tour will consist of premium access to photograph the horses before and during the polo match on Saturday afternoon, a group dinner, an overnight stay in a local hotel and a barn or horse barn photographic workshop inside three barns the next morning.

The price for this workshop is $100 and is entirely tax deductible as Keith and Tony are donating all their fees to the not-for-profit and the gate for the match has been waived. The fee covers admission to the polo field and the guided barn workshop the next day. The only out of pocket will be gas and tolls, dinner and the hotel room that will be reserved for you. We will spend a maximum of 1 hour at each barn, giving time to shoot and get individual instruction. We will suggest and help arrange carpooling. The group would be capped at 20 people.

Upon registration you will receive the exact location, parking instructions, photography gear recommendations, and any other vital information to make this a fun, comfortable learning experience. Since this is the first time for the Polo Field hosting such an event, and the first time photographing here, we don’t have any good photos of what you can expect. However, imagine the polo match, riders in colorful silks, horses braided with colorful ribbons, and the match itself with horses flexing, and straining, showing off their power and flexibility. Then Sunday morning we’ll offer exclusive entrance to private barns near the polo grounds with all of it’s textures, and patterns, livestock, fencing, and so many other artful opportunities.

Operation Horses and Heroes is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-profit organization dedicated to provide healing and wellbeing to military veterans and active duty suffering from the effects of PTSD, and other traumatic brain injuries through the proven concept of Equestrian Psychotherapy. It is not horseback riding lessons, in fact it is rare if any of the participants in the program actually mount a horse. It’s more about providing our veterans with a scenario requiring them to work with the horse to accomplish a task under the watchful eye of a highly trained and credentialed Equine Psychotherapist. Using cues from the horse the therapist can establish “tells” about the veteran and use that information to help them understand their PTSD and provide ways to cope with it, or work through it in everyday life situations.

OHH is not funded by any government organization and relies entirely on donations, volunteers, and the support of everyday people like you. We have so far successfully held our 3 and 4 day programs in various locations around the US without it costing our dedicated military men and women any money. It’s bad enough some of them have to take off work, or use precious vacation days for the program, however it works and it vital to healing in the family especially. For more information on Operation Horse and Heroes visit www.operationhorsesandheroes.org or search for them on face book.

Polo Match- Barn Workshop- Military Veteran Fundraiser

Aug 12-13th Bettendorf IA, Quad Cities Area

This workshop is a fund raiser for Operation Horses and Heroes, a 501(c)(3) and will take place at the Quad Cities Polo Club and surrounding area on August 12 and 13th, The tour will consist of premium access to photograph the horses before and during the polo match on Saturday afternoon, a group dinner, an overnight stay in a local hotel and a barn or horse barn photographic workshop inside three barns the next morning.

The price for this workshop is $100 and is entirely tax deductible as Keith and Tony are donating all their fees to the not-for-profit and the gate for the match has been waived. The fee covers admission to the polo field and the guided barn workshop the next day. The only out of pocket will be gas and tolls, dinner and the hotel room that will be reserved for you. We will spend a maximum of 1 hour at each barn, giving time to shoot and get individual instruction. We will suggest and help arrange carpooling. The group would be capped at 20 people.

Upon registration you will receive the exact location, parking instructions, photography gear recommendations, and any other vital information to make this a fun, comfortable learning experience. Since this is the first time for the Polo Field hosting such an event, and the first time photographing here, we don’t have any good photos of what you can expect. However, imagine the polo match, riders in colorful silks, horses braided with colorful ribbons, and the match itself with horses flexing, and straining, showing off their power and flexibility. Then Sunday morning we’ll offer exclusive entrance to private barns near the polo grounds with all of it’s textures, and patterns, livestock, fencing, and so many other artful opportunities.

Operation Horses and Heroes is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-profit organization dedicated to provide healing and wellbeing to military veterans and active duty suffering from the effects of PTSD, and other traumatic brain injuries through the proven concept of Equestrian Psychotherapy. It is not horseback riding lessons, in fact it is rare if any of the participants in the program actually mount a horse. It’s more about providing our veterans with a scenario requiring them to work with the horse to accomplish a task under the watchful eye of a highly trained and credentialed Equine Psychotherapist. Using cues from the horse the therapist can establish “tells” about the veteran and use that information to help them understand their PTSD and provide ways to cope with it, or work through it in everyday life situations.

OHH is not funded by any government organization and relies entirely on donations, volunteers, and the support of everyday people like you. We have so far successfully held our 3 and 4 day programs in various locations around the US without it costing our dedicated military men and women any money. It’s bad enough some of them have to take off work, or use precious vacation days for the program, however it works and it vital to healing in the family especially.
